Sunday, November 28, 1976 Hemmerly Open House
Cloudy & temp 38 till 4:30.
In at 10:30 & still some setting up to do, but Hemmerly’s never looked better. We were mobbed by over 1,200 people. Mother handed out calendars from the wedding room door (did this to routepeople to see our offices) but she didn’t like being “back in a corner,”
Staggered hours to cut down on overtime. Gave away 1200 calico canes, 1,000 calendars & 8 door prizes. At 4:30 it started snowing & the crowd dwindled. TOok me 30 minutes to drive home on icy roads. Home by 6:30.
